Are those wings coming out of her eyes? Wires? Are those even her eyes? Where is the face? And where the hell was her ether-pidgeon resting?

A few interesting details i noticed: The metal is rusty but looks in working condition, except on the face, which is covered in cracks (some kind of paralel to Annie's mask). The hair seems to turn around towards her face, forming a shape kind looking like a bird wathcing over her. A tick-tock, maybe?

You know, I think parts of this thing resemble elements of birds. Sorta like a peacocks tail in spots. Also robots. Ya, in a way it suits Kat, while being threatening.

It also makes her hideously large nose look smaller, which is a bonus.

This might be what it's reminding you of, captn_dr.
The figure on top sort of resembles Coyote's face, which indicates to me that this relates to the court's parallel of a godly figure.

You know, I was joking when I figured that Zimmy would literally see her as being machine in nature.


:suspense:

What the hell does this mean.

E: I have the suspicion that somehow, in some way, Kat is responsible for the Tic-Tocs. Most likely from the future. I'm not even joking.

At the start of the chapter when Zimmy was saying "I don't wanna see her" I just assumed she meant Annie. I guess she meant the great big creepy mech/bird lady instead?

Well, we know why Tom's been silent for most of the chapter.

Just when we'd started pegging Kat down as the mundane anchor of the two, we have this pop up in front of us :suicide:

E: Tea-san I'd buy this as a poster or print or wall scroll or loving anything in a heartbeat.

That's far more terrifying than the wheels-within-wheels-with-eyes biblical angel. I wonder if this is just a product of a Zimmist reality or is Kat, like Annie, actually something more than human?

Oh yeah! I almost forgot... ffffffffffffffffffffFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK.

I don't know. I mean, we were presumably seeing ZimmyVision when we were seeing City Face on Kat's head earlier, so I guess she only just started seeing Kat like this when she got tossed out of Annie's space just then.

Tom's comment at the bottom frightens me.

Man, all your better quality religions have weird rear end angels. If those guys looked too much like you, you wouldn't give them the proper respect. Tell me you wouldn't be respectful as hell if you saw *that* coming at you.

As in Kat is not actually a human child but rather some kind of incredibly sophisticated golem, brought to life by Donny and Anja, and disguised by "etheric science" to seemingly grow up and interact like a real human child? Maybe in line with the Court's endeavor to become god? :tinfoil:

I imagine that when Gamma is around and/or when Zimmy isn't in full-swing ether-vision things like this don't show up as often. It's goddamn awesome though.

The bird features are pretty distinctive.



They look like they're modeled after the ibis.



Thoth, the the Egyptian god of magic, science, writing, and judgment, had an ibis for a head.

I got more of a "holy trinity" vibe. The creator, the created, and some sort of divine spark or energy.
